Did you know that November is National Career Development Month?
This month-long awareness campaign – spearheaded by the National Career Development Association in 1967 – highlights the importance of personal career development and planning as well as the importance of employers providing tools for their employees’ development.
Two weeks ago we discovered how employees could help develop their career AND last week we shared what benefits employers would see from upskilling their staff. In this final part we are highlighting how we – Firstcall Recruitment – can help you with your career development.

Relationship building – we have significant relationships with multiple businesses that offer trainee programmes and career development opportunities.
Marcel, our Recruitment Manager, points out:
“Recruitment is about more than sending people’s CVs out to employers, much more. We invest time in getting to know our candidates – and our clients too – so we know exactly what they want.
There’s a fierce job market in Guernsey’s finance industry however we believe that the recruitment journey is about developing and nurturing relationships and trust – we pride ourselves on getting to know our candidates, listening to their wants, needs and career plans so we can provide a bespoke service.
He continues:
“Equally, we nurture and develop our relationships with our clients and make sure that we understand their business, recruitment plans, and, indeed, the career development opportunities that they offer.
